Introductory Remarks and Meeting Goals Mohamed Abdou ITER-TBM Costing Meeting at UCLA December 12-14, 2005 Purposes of this Meeting • Present Cost Estimates performed to date – Summary of all items on the WBS – Details in selected areas where further discussion is needed • Review and Discuss Cost Estimates – Suggest Improvements where needed • Discussion of Priorities for R&D Items that significantly impact the cost • Discuss and resolve any remaining questions regarding how the Cost information will be presented • Agree on Cost Report Outline and Writing Assignments – What information will be presented in the report? – Format ?

Report Outline • Per my request, Tom Mann made a Report Outline – This Outline was commented on by Clement and Alice • Tom will present the Outline for discussion in this meeting My Preliminary Suggestions on Points raised: • Report Title: Initial Technical Plan and Cost Estimate for the US ITER Test Blanket Module (TBM) • Provide Summary of the International ITER TBM Program (Part of ITER mission, ITER Schedule, 3 ports to be shared, interfaces, very brief description (1 page) of other parties’ plans) • Have clearly stated in the beginning: Mission, Objectives, Strategy, Deliverables • Provide a summary of Design Description and parameters of the two blanket concepts’ Test Modules/Submodules and Ancillary Equipment (limit to 5-8 pages per concept) • Use Appendices to document everything we have done on costing (WBS, Cost Details, Schedule Details, Contingency Analysis etc.) Some General Information • All details of the TBM Costing Activity are on the US TBM Website (http://www.fusion.ucla.edu/ITER-TBM/) • Note that the TBM website has also links to design information, to ITER TBWG website, etc. • The last TBWG-16 meeting in November in Beijing resulted in important conclusions. These were summarized in an e-mail by M. Abdou • The TWO Most important challenges facing ITER from TBM standpoint are: – Developing and Signing of a LEGAL Agreement among ITER Parties on the TBM Program (Either as part of ITER Agreement or as an amendment) – Developing and Signing of Legal Agreement(s) among Parties (multilateral, tri-lateral, and/or bi-lateral) on specifics of collaborations on TBM R&D, Test Module construction, construction and sharing of ancillary equipment, etc. Revised Agenda for ITER-TBM Planning and Costing Meeting December 12 – 14, 2005 UCLA, Rice Room, Boelter Hall Monday, December 12 Welcome 9:00 am 20 min 20 min 20 min Abdou Mann Welcome and meeting goals Proposed costing report outline Discussions / Questions Note: Mission statement, TBM goals, and TBM experimental plan in ITER will be deferred until Wednesday. They have been discussed before and are posted on the Web. The focus of the meeting needs to be on details of costing.
